Kennett Square Tetanus Vaccines at AFC Urgent Care
AFC Kennett Square provides on-site tetanus shots that protect against Clostridium tetani, the bacterial cause of tetanus, also called lockjaw. When a patient becomes infected, they experience very painful muscle contractions or spasms. The neck and jaw muscles tense up so much that it makes it difficult to open the mouth and causes potential difficulty with breathing.
Tetanus has no cure, so it's imperative to have an up-to-date tetanus shot. Schedule your consultation now or walk right in!

What's the difference between AFC Urgent Care and emergency room services?
Urgent care is for medical conditions that require prompt attention but do not pose an immediate threat to your health or life. Here is a simple rule of thumb: if your medical issues(s) are life threatening, call 911, or go directly to a hospital emergency room. If not, an urgent care center such as AFC is an excellent alternative.
